Answer 1

Well, I can think you can make your decision when you get to that stage, ie. when you complete your B.Tech degree. The market is always unpredictable. Prior to 2000, everybody was saying that IT was the next big thing and it was going to stay. Then came the recession(nobody expected it to happen, & nobody thus prepared for it) and IT was in the doldrums. Today the buzzword is ITES(IT Enabled Services), and tomorrow it might be something else altogether.

Nobody can really predict the future. So it would be very premature to make a decision at such an early stage. The data regarding the future of biotechnology simply is insufficient to make a career decision right now. It would depend on a lot of often unpredictable factors, such as how strong the economy is, whether government policy will be favourable to the biotech industry etc.
